This is a sandbox for me to refine Programming:Action_script changes before comitting them.

Introduction

MTASC

Actionscript 2 Compiler

Code must be formed as a class.

Class filename{
      public statuc main(){
            _root.createTextField('monkey',_root.getNextHighestDepth());
            _root.monkey.text = "";
      }
}

Basic Syntax

//	will cause one line of code to be ignored, working as a comment
/* */	Multiline comment

Variables

Any word not enclosed by a quotes, appended by parenthesis, or preceded on the same line by a comment.

foo = "bar"; // This is a variable with the value "bar"
bar = foo; // This is a variable that references the value from foo
bar = foo + " bar " + foo; // This would have the value "bar bar bar"

Constants

A constant is defined by the _global prepention.

_global.sherif = "Rockin' the Cashbah";

The variable sherif will now be usable from any movieclip or frame that calls it using sherif. One only needs to instantiate the variable with _global for it to work.
